Great, a Zodiac copycat killer. This is why I don’t live in Fayetteville any more.

Someone claiming to be the killer of a pregnant soldier sent a letter that “was signed with a symbol resembling the one connected with the Zodiac killer, a notorious serial killer in the late 1960s.”

I got this funny email from Kathryn today:

I forgot to tell you about the weird dream I had last night – dreamt I was fishing at work (don’t ask) and caught several fish – they were “catfish” in the water, and then they turned to plain cats in the water. And then there was a large horse in the water, and other weird water creatures, and I caught and threw back several of those. For some reason I was here overnight, fishing with a lot of other staff.

I think it’s a sign of the apocalypse or something. Fishing for cats isn’t right.
